Warm and dry conditions persist through Friday, rain for part of the weekend

EVENING: Clear and warm. Temps near 80.

TONIGHT: Clear and mild. Low 56.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny and very warm. High 86.

Wednesday night’s weak cold front didn’t cool us down much. We started the new month with a high of 82 on Wednesday which is 12 degrees warmer than average. We stay clear and mild tonight with a low near 56 degrees by Thursday morning

The next two days will end the week with more dry conditions and mild air. Highs on Thursday will warm into the 80s with Friday’s high nearing 77 with a little more cloud cover later in the day.

The weekend will feature a period of rain, and we continue to pin down the timing for weekend plans. At this time, Sunday appears to be the day to feature more showers and drizzle. Saturday may start dry, with showers developing later in the day. We want to watch Saturday closely to determine when the showers will arrive. If you have outdoor plans for Saturday, stay tuned…
